When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
Solve -5b - 8b = -6b + 5y + 1 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{4}{7}\)y + \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| 13y + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)y + \(\frac{7}{8}\) | |
| -4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
